The changes below look good. You can test by instrumenting 
drm_fb_helper_deferred_io() with printk(). For testing, you can reduce 
the write-back frequency by setting helper->fbdefio.delay to a higher 
value. If you set it to HZ, it should only do a write-back once per 
second. Then do an mmap() from userspace and copy data into the memory 
region. It should print something from drm_fb_helper_deferred_io(). Best
